Why not achieve these goals by:
- Running PANA between the station and access router.
- Having AP relay interesting IEEE 802.11 bits to the access router as it
bridges (forwards) the packets. This can be carried as some sort of auxilary
data as part of the IEEE headers. IEEE (SDO) could define this.
